Whenever Faced With Vibrant, Massive -- But Largely Peaceful -- Protests, Tangerine 2.0 Now Regularly Tries To Claim Its An "Insurrection" [Of 1807]. YAWN.

He threatened it in Kenosha, WI, and in DC, and Minneapolis in Tangerine 1.0.

This time around, he's threatened use of the Act in Chicago, Portland, LA and most recently, again in Minneapolis (this time after Bovino shock troops gunned a mother of three down, in the street).

Aside from how cowardly this all seems -- he cannot have newsreels chanting "F#CK Trump!" every night -- the now nearly 220 year old act simply does not apply to the people exercising their clear First Amendment rights. It just doesn't [see flowchart at right]. This was made painfully clear when he and AG Bill Barr tried it -- against the people of DC, gathered peacefully in Lafayette Square, after George Floyd's murder by cop [when Trump held a bible upside down, involking his supposed "god's" name]. He's a sad lil' man -- with a sad, and repressive. . . lil' mind.

Here's today's version, from across the pond:

. . .Minnesota governor Tim Walz called on Donald Trump to “turn the temperature down” as protests escalate in Minneapolis after the shooting of an immigrant, by an ICE agent on Wednesday.

In a statement he asked the president to “stop this campaign of retribution” and thousands of federal immigration agents remain in the city after last week's fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.

Walz also urged demonstrating Minnesotans to “speak out loudly, urgently, but also peacefully,”. Minneapolis police chief Brian O’Hara said that those gathering at the scene of the shooting on Wednesday were “engaging in unlawful behavior. . . .”

Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota in response to protests in Minneapolis against federal immigration enforcement operations, as Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, overnight urged demonstrators in Minneapolis to be peaceful amid escalating tensions.

In a post on his "Truth" Social on Thursday morning, Trump said he would institute the Insurrection Act and “quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place” in Minnesota if the “corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of ICE”. . . .

This is a very fraught time. Be careful out there my Minneapolis friends. Onward, resolutely, just the same -- confidential to Tangerine: "here's a crazy. . . idea -- stop gunning down innocent people in our cities." I promise the protests will abate then.
